Covenants God has made with me:
You take care of my people and I will take care of your courses (circa 2005)
Don’t ask and I’ll still provide. In fact, give away $1000 of what you already have (2007)
I will inhabit you. Your thoughts will be my thoughts and your actions my actions (2008)
I have appointed you to bear fruit that lasts (John 15:16) - 2014
I will be with you (Jesus, 2016) The road is going to be hard, impossible-looking but I will still be with you.
Your job is to remain in Me (John 15) - spiritual retreat 2018
My thoughts on Covenant:
A covenant is a sealed contract, written by God. Sometimes it’s conditional, other times it’s unconditional and requires nothing of us. When God gives us a covenant, it will absolutely be challenged. We need to see how God is bringing it to fruition and see what we can do to partner with Him. We need to trust that He will do His part. But even if we don’t, He’ll follow through.
Covenants are very special things. Not everyone has things that God tells them in the form of a promise. But when He does tell you something, you can guarantee it’s important and that it will be tested.
We need to be like Abraham, who in the face of God giving Him a covenant of blessing on Him and his descendants, Abraham was able to still fully trust in God to the point of offering the best land up for Lot’s flocks and offering his son Isaac as a sacrifice. He knew Covenant did not depend on him at all.
What has God promised us? Has He been faithful in the past with those same situations? Am I trusting Him now to still come through? What is holding me back? What are ways I can trust Him more in my life and ministry?
